Blue Dragon.
Yeah, I think it's too early, basically because after Blue Dragon XB360 started to sell better and outsold the original Xbox soon after and went untouchable selling 1.5 million LTD. At the moment this doesn't seem possible for Series. I think the real battle will be with the original Xbox (which sold almost 500k in Japan). I'll change the table when we reach the moment these two are closer.
No More Heroes historical first week performance:
1. No More Heroes: Red Zone Edition (PS3) - 40.050
2. No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (PS3) - 13.845
3. No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (XB360) - 13.105
4. No More Heroes (WII) - 13.000
5. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (WII) - 9.463
6. No More Heroes 3 (NSW) - 7.951
I mean? not at all, seriously xD
Didn't Marvelous give Travis Strikes Again a retail release on PS4?
How did it do?
oh damn i used MC numbers so i tought NMH2 did 11k first week. That's a better drop but uuuuuuuh
Lol it's a game where the Wii version did the heavy lifting and the PS3 versions IIRC got way more marketing
TSA was a total bomb on Playstation, the series pull with that audience is long passed. Never mind the fact that Red Zone was pretty much a super marketed gimmick release in comparison that was entirely sold on T&A.
You got a point. 3rd party devs should just stop with the exclusives. As long as it can run on the platform and is not in one way funded by the big 3. We got 3 healthy platforms (PS, Switch and PC). Devs should utilise this.
To be fair, Famicom Detective Club sold what was shipped.
So funny that NMH3 is being used as a scapegoat from the usual suspects, anything is good ammo.
Its a series that sells almost entirely in the United States, and it's performing quite decently in the Amazon and eshop rankings. No need to worry about it.

Not in order of sales or release because I don't have time, but past NMH games:

Xbox had no gimmick, and as a late port still sold more than the wii version.
Yep, the only thing missing is a truck of money to develop NMH3 in 60fps, with impressive graphics and market the shit out of it.
Easy!
Weren't we yesterday fighting about an Aniplex game not being needed on Switch and today we have an Aniplex selling more on Switch than PS4?
I hope you're not suggesting that an Xbox release in 2021 would've sold more than NMH3 did here
You seem to confuse lauch week numbers and total. Total ain't good, but the Wii version outsold the 360 version, 27k to 18k...
I'm suggesting having a gimmick wasn't the reason it sold more than the initial release.
Two weeks in a row the digital Xbox outsells the digital PlayStation, right? Lol Sony couldn't make their shipment strategy more obvious
"As long as it can run" is arbitrary judging by the list of game which weren't possible on Switch but got ported anyway. It basically means "No Switch exclusives".
It's just not a successful game series period. It's exceedingly niche. I assume they must make a small profit -- either way, there is some value in keeping a developer active so that it doesn't fall apart.. that was probably some of the thought behind making another game like this.
Suggesting that a ~5k difference between a 10 year old version of a game that also cost less is indicative of where the audience lies is a stretch
You absolutely do not know what you're talking about lmfao
NMH1 and 2 were pretty successful on Wii and were the best selling games from the studio at the time.
Grasshopper is indie, they do what they want to do, they aren't being told to stay active from a publisher.
Actually, thanks to a conversation with others, I realised that we don't know whether the Killer Dollar Trilogy is available in physical stores or it's an online-retailers only thing, do we?
It's simultaneously farcical and predictable to see the way people are reacting to these NMH3 numbers lol. Game was obviously never going to make a dent in Japan no matter what platform the game was released on.
Awesome first week for Tsukihime.
Awesome first week for Tsukihime.
It's a VN IP by Type-Moon( Fate Stay Night developer and owner of the Fate IP). It's the remake of the VN released in early 2000 and is part of a shared universe called Nasuverse with Fate, Tsukihime, Kara no Kyoukai, etc. It's one of the most waited remake(At least by non-existent IP in the west standards) because it was announced in 2008 and was MIA until this year.
We can't compare userbase demographics from more than a decade ago and apply to today realities. It is what it is. Wii userbase was a lot more "casual" but the same can't be applied to Switch userbase. The fact X360 version sold 13k has no correlation with what a Series port could do. Could do a little higher, could do a lot worse.
While true, I think the Xbox Series S is just a much more attractive piece than the PS5 Digital. It's smaller, fits much better into the living room and it's cheaper. It's also has Gamepass for cheaper games. But yeah, PS5 DE is a marketing strategy more than an actual product.
This!
To be fair, the only way to play Xbox games is digital (they have like 3 package games released), so if for some reason you go Xbox, there is no difference.
I'm not even sure what you are talking about anymore, my English understanding fails me.
Because I see more than 5k.
NMH games outside nintendo were always late ports, late ports in Japan as you know tend to do worse than initial releases.
There's no way to tell how a simultaneous releases would do nowadays, but west wise it would no doubt help it out.
No idea why I thought NMH was bigger in Japan looking at those numbers, guess just kinda figured given the style of game. Hopefully international sales are strong.
There is a world of difference, XSX is beast next to the XSS when it comes to power.
Also many JP getting the series X are users coming back to xbox from the 360, they have big 360 collections and like to use that disc drive for BC.
None of the games since the original have sold more than 100k copies. The original was a relative success at the time but that was nearly 15 years ago and nothing since has even been worth the time or effort to develop it in terms of sales. At best, the games have made a small profit, but more than likely they'd have made a loss if they weren't published by another company. But again, there's value in keeping a studio afloat. This game (NMH3) was never going to succeed.
They are, at least magnitude higher than Japan
Now enjoy the usual warriors fighting the good fight
It's a traditionally western aimed title. 2 was only ever greenlit because the western publishers more or less asked for it. Marvelous have tried to sell the later releases in Japan like 2 and Red Zone purely on sex appeal, and that's not a thing in 3, which also doesn't even have a JP dub. Far as I can tell it seems to do decently at least in the US, where it peaked at 9th in eShop charts and 6th at Amazon's Switch charts.
We should do both. And we are tbh. NMH3 is just a more recognisable franchise to most since the other one is very Japanese-centric, so it makes sense that NMH3 takes more of a spotlight. Doesn't excuse the obvious troll attempt by RPGamer, either, of course. People should ideally just report it for what it is and ignore it.

Since you say it's impossible to happen how much would NMH3 have to sell ww so that it succeeds?
100, 200, 500k?
